Chapter 55 You Married the Handsome Wheelchair Man?
Both of them behind her yelped, they then hugged her from behind, "You silly girl, where have you
been? Do you know how worried we were? We couldn''t even eat well because we were thinking about
you. Look how skinny we got!"
"Hey, don''t be so dramatic." Emmeline was being strangled by them and found it hard to breathe.
They wereughing and crying and people started to surround them.
The other students came to greet Emmeline seeing that she was back.
"Hey, where have you been in the past months? I went to your house several times but your mom
wouldn''t tell me where you had gone. And then there was your sister, who was avoiding us like the
gue." Agnes held Emmeline''s hand.
The ss bell rang. Emmeline looked at them and sighed as she lowered her head, "It''s a long story,
let''s go to ss first. I''ll tell you guyster."
"Okay!" They walked into the ssroom. The teacher was already on the podium.
Emmeline was smart and diligent, she had been absent for a few months but she quickly caught up as
Agnes and Lena taught her about the sses she missed.
The three of them walked to a corner of the school at break. Lena got worried seeing how hesitant
Emmeline was about telling her story.
"Emmeline, Antonio got so sad after you left. He doesn''te to school very often now and doesn''t
pay attention in ss."
"One time we saw him drinking in a pub at night. He was going crazy being unable to find you.
Emmeline, he is serious about you."
Emmeline felt her heart ached upon hearing what they said, "How is he doingtely?"
"Not well, hees to school 2-3 times a week. I heard that his father wants to send him toAmerica to
study abroad soon." Lena stared at Emmeline as she said that.
Emotions were raging in Emmeline''s heart. Even though she came back, she couldn''t be with him
anymore. Her identity was now rather awkward, and she wouldn''t be a good match for him anymore.
Everything would go away with time…
"Emmeline, so where have you been in the past few months? Don''t leave us hanging." Agnes couldn''t
help but ask.
Emmeline looked at their concerned eyes and decided to tell them about it. They were her only best
friends.
"I…" She didn''t know how to phrase it.
In the end, she gave in to Agnes'' and Lena''s questioning. She gritted her teeth as she said, "I got
married. I got married to the Byrne Group''s third son, Stefan Byrne!"
Agnes'' and Lena''s mouths were so wide open they could fit eggs, "You married Stefan Byrne, the
current president of the Byrne Group, the handsome man in the wheelchair?"
Emmeline chuckled, what did they mean by the handsome man in the wheelchair?
Emmeline almostughed out loud. Her two best friends were still in shock.
"My god, he is very handsome. Even in a wheelchair, he is still so charming. A lot of the girls in school
cut out his pictures from papers and collect them. He is a famous person in X City right now."
"OMG! Emmeline, how did you get married to him? You are going to break so many people''s heart. It
was rumoured that he was being hidden away on an ind for 9 years, and was just now back to take
the position as president. So it was you who was apanying him."
Emmeline looked at her star-struck best friends speechlessly. They seemed to be jealous of what had
happened to her.
"Say, how are you guys'' rtionship? We heard that he''s not attracted to women. But you married him,
did you guys do it?"
"His legs areme, so how do you guys do it? Do you go on top?"
"He appears to be cold, but is he nicer to you?" They bombarded Emmeline with questions. Emmeline
took a few steps backwards.
She was speechless at their questions.
It was as if she struck gold being able to get married to Stefan. They didn''t ask why she suddenly got
married at such a young age but instead they were asking her ridiculous questions.
At 6 p.m., Emmeline got out of ss and walked out of the school entrance with the backpack on her
back. She was going to have dinner with Agnes and Lena, as they weren''t done catching up yet.
But Paul''s car was parked at the school entrance. He opened the car door immediately upon seeing
Emmeline, "Lady, master had me drive you home."
"Wow! Emmeline, my goodness. The handsome man in the wheelchair told someone to pick you up!"
Emmeline''s face flushed. She told Stefan not to make someonee pick her up. Now everyone saw
it. He promised her to not bother her school life, and that they weren''t going to disclose their
rtionship.
Now, only Agnes and Lena knew about this. Everyone else thought that she was absent for a few
months due to some family issues.
Agnes and Lena stared at Emmeline in awe. Emmeline waved them goodbye, "See you guys
tomorrow."
She had to tell Stefan today, that he shouldn''t make Paule pick her up anymore.
Emmeline opened the car door and sat inside. Agnes and Lena were still standing there in a daze after
the car left, "Are we dreaming? Did Emmeline reallye back? Did she really marry the handsome
guy in the wheelchair?" Lena looked nkly at Agnes.
Agnes pped the back of Lena''s head, "Yes, wake up. Our Emmeline got married!"
They then walked home separately.
Agnes'' expression dimmed when she turned around.
Her life was rather simr to Emmeline''s. Their family was not some big and powerful family, but her
grandfather and father were in the army.
Her grandfather risked his life together with hisrade back then. Hisrade from his group saved
his life before.
And now they were part of the veteran''s group in X City. The grandfather''srade''s son had 2 sons,
and Agnes had a sister. Her grandfather and herrade always joked about letting their
grandchildren getting married, so that they could be a family for decades toe.
Therade also agreed on this idea readily.
3 years ago, her grandfather wanted to let her sister, Maes Jones, get married to therade''s older
grandson. Maes was studying in America at that time, they were engaged but they had never met each
other.
3 monthster, Maes passed away in a car ident in America. Her grandfather was really devastated
about it.
As he made a promise and didn''t want to break the promise.
After Maes passed away, her grandfather arranged for Agnes to get married to therade''s
grandson.
Her sister had passed away, Agnes didn''t want to go against her grandfather and her parents as she
didn''t want to make them sad. And so, she promised to get married to him after she graduated.
After one year, she would be marrying a man she didn''t know.
Fate was unfair to her. She would never be able to choose to marry the one she loved. She always
looked happy on the outside, but deep inside she was hiding a painful secret like this.
Emmeline got back to Sweedal Residence and Madison had already prepared dinner. Emmeline
walked into the house and saw Stefan reclining on the sofa. He was reading some documents
elegantly.
"You''re back? How''s your first day of school?" Stefan didn''t even look up. His low voice filled the living
room.
Emmeline felt speechless, this wasn''t her first day of school.

She put down her bag and looked at Stefan.
Stefan had now raised his head and looked at her. She was in a blue dress and ts. A simple look like
this made her look like a good student.
He patted the space next to him, "Come here."
Emmeline walked over and stared into his deep eyes, "Stefan…"
She was going to say something, but he interrupted her.
